Main apni life mein kabhi kisi se expect nahi karta tha ki main uss bandi se milunga. Main ek ordinary ladka tha, ek investigative journalist. Mere liye duniya ka sabse important cheez thi sach ko dhoondhna. Har case, har story, har situation main apni puri jaan daal deta tha.
Lekin mujhe kisne socha tha ki ek din main ek aise ladki se milunga, jo mere saare idealistic beliefs ko hilake rakh degi?
Woh ladki thi Tanya. Ek criminal defense lawyer. Mujhe kabhi bhi apne safar mein criminal lawyer se milne ka moka nahi mila tha, lekin jab mujhe ek case pe kaam karne ka mauka mila, jahan ek major scam ki khuli investigation thi, toh main Tanya se mila.
Shuru mein hum dono kaafi alag the. Main sach ko sabse zaroori samajhta tha, aur woh har cheez ko apni profession ki nazar se dekhti thi. Tanya ko bas jeet chahiye thi, chahe kiski bhi cost pe ho.
Yeh case thoda complex tha. Ek badi company ka scam tha, jismein kaafi prominent political figures involved the. Main aur Tanya dono ko ek hi time par is case ki tahkiqaat mein involve kiya gaya. Lekin ek lawyer aur ek journalist ka mind-set alag hota hai. Main har angle se case ko samajhne ki koshish karta tha, aur woh sirf case ko jeetna chahti thi.
Pehle toh hum dono ek dusre se irritate hote the. Main uske methods se nafrat karta tha, aur woh meri idealism ko bekaar samajhti thi. Har waqt hum dono ka clash hota tha, par humare beech ek ajeeb si chemistry thi jo kabhi na kabhi humein ek dusre se baat karne pe majboor kar deti thi.
Jab humne case pe saath kaam karna shuru kiya, toh kuch ajeeb hota gaya. Hum dono ko pata tha ki yeh case humein jaan se maar bhi sakta hai, par hum dono apne apne tareeqe se apne kaam ko pure dil se kar rahe the. Jab hum raat bhar ek office mein kaam kar rahe the, kuch chhoti-chhoti baatein hui jo pehle nahi hui thi. Tanya ne mujhe apni life ke baare mein bataya, aur maine apne struggles usse share kiye.
Main jaanta tha ki hum dono ek dusre se kabhi apne personal zindagi ko mix nahi karenge, lekin yeh kahani kabhi na kabhi humein aise mod pe le aayi, jahan hum dono ka heart ek hi cheez chah raha tha. Hum dono ka ek dusra side tha jo humne kabhi kisi ko nahi dikhaya tha.
Jab hum case ki conclusion ki taraf badhne lage, tab humein pata chala ki yeh scam ka case itna simple nahi tha. Ek conspiracy thi, jo humare upar thi. Ek din, jab hum dono confidential documents dekh rahe the, kisi ne hum par vaar kar diya. Tanya ko chot lagi thi, aur main bas apne aap ko bekaar mehsoos kar raha tha. Us din ke baad kuch badal gaya tha.
Tanya ki aankhon mein ek nayi shakhsiyat thi. Usne mujhse kaha, “Tum dono ho toh ekdum opposite, lekin yeh jo humne saath kaam kiya hai, yeh kiski paribhasha mein nahi aata.” Main bas muskuraya, kyunki sach mein, maine bhi apni feelings ko samajhna shuru kiya tha.
Jaise-jaise hum dono case ko solve karte gaye, humare beech ka bond strong hota gaya. Maan lo, hum dono kaafi dare hue the, lekin ek dusre ke saath, humne apne fears ko door kiya. Humne apni personal lives ko kabhi na kabhi saamne laane ka socha, lekin yeh sab humare beech ka professional barrier tha. Humari situation thodi complicated ho gayi thi.
Aaj bhi mujhe yeh yaad hai ki humne case ke final din ek dusri ko dekha. Sab kuch clear ho gaya tha. Humne scam ko expose kar diya tha, lekin kuch aise log involved the jinhone hum dono ko maarne ki dhamki di thi. Tanya ne mujhe keh diya tha ki woh jaise bhi ho, apne career aur apne family ko save karna chahti hai. Main bhi apne kaam ko nahi chhodna chahta tha.
Phir us din, jab final case ki victory humne jeeti thi, tab Tanya ne mujhse kuch kaha jo kabhi nahi socha tha: “Humein apne personal lives ko alag rakhna hoga. Tum apne tareeqe se jeevan jeene wale ho, aur main apne tareeqe se.” Main samajh gaya tha ki humari zindagi alag disha mein jaa rahi thi.
Case ke baad kuch time tak hum milte rahe, lekin phir dheere-dheere humne ek dusre se door hona shuru kiya. Tanya apni profession mein busy thi, aur main apne kaam mein. Humare beech ka connection ab wo pehle jaise intense nahi tha. Ek din mujhe uska message mila. Usne likha, “Hum dono ko apni life ko apne tareeqe se jeene ka haq hai.”
Mujhe pata tha ki hum dono ko apni alag raahein chunni thi, lekin dil mein ek ache dard ki feeling thi. Tanya aur main kabhi apne sapne poore nahi kar paaye. Hum dono ke beech wo jo rishta tha, wo kabhi na kabhi perfect ending tak nahi pahuncha.
Aur aise, hum dono apni duniya mein chal diye. Ek dusre se kuch bechain ya khoi hui yaadein, par sach toh yeh tha ki hum apne life mein different journeys pe chal rahe the. Aur shaayad yeh hi sahi tha.
